This dish on a footring with a flattened rim and a glazed base, was part of the “The Nanking Cargo” auction held by Christie's in Amsterdam in 1986.
Decorated with the "Boatman and six-flower border" pattern in underglaze blue. Painted with a fisherman punting his boat in a broad riverscape with a two-storey pavilion beside pine, wutong and rocks on the near bank and a retreat on two, the rim with six small flower sprays below a trellis-pattern border.
It carries The Nanking Cargo Christie's lot 1723 label and was one of 48 similar dishes sold in this lot.
The cargo of Chinese porcelain was originally potted in Jingdezhen, Jiangzi province then shipped to Nanking for delivery to the Dutch East India Company, (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, VOC) ship "Geldermalsen" for final transportation to the Netherlands.
The VOC ship "Geldermalsen" struck a reef on her return journey to the Netherlands and sank in the South China Sea on January 3, 1752.
The cargo was recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher and his team in 1985 and sold by Christie's in Amsterdam two hundred and thirty five years later.
